What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 214 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 193 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

7 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Nolan Schanuel — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Yoán Moncada — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5José Caballero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Ryan McMahon — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
